I would consider piping each message into rmail (/bin/rmail on this SysV.3
machine).  You would then need some way of persuading mail to drop such
messages into your required folder.  If "filter" can tell that a particular
header exists you could look for the "Path: ..." line.

Try this (bourne) shell script for starters (don't forget to change "chris"
to your own username  :-) ...
	:
	cd /usr/spool/news/comp/mail/elm
	for f in *
	do
		cat $f | rmail chris
	done
